Europe’s largest annual industrial technology trade show, Deutsche Messe, will premiere HANNOVER MESSE USA at IMTS 2018, September 10-15, in Chicago, Ill. “The co-located show will make IMTS 2018 the one place in the world to see and interact with the very best and latest manufacturing technology,” said Peter Eelman, AMT Vice President. (AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology owns IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show.)

With an increase in exhibitors and visitors coming from outside Germany to attend the annual Hannover Messe show in Hannover, Germany, Deutsche Messe wants to continue the positive momentum of its brand to showcase cutting-edge industrial technology with an emphasis on industrial digitalization and Industry 4.0. HANNOVER MESSE credits its acclaim in the U.S. market in part to its 2016 show, when the United States was a partner country.

Since 2012, Deutsche Messe has co-located smaller trade shows at IMTS, though they focused on specific sectors such as industrial robotics, factory automation, energy technology and industrial supply.

To be located in the McCormick Place East Building on Level II and III, HANNOVER MESSE USA expects to attract some 550 exhibitors and more than 100,000 visitors, and will occupy about 130,000 square feet of display space.
